readx;? The two haven't chatted like this for a long time, and this catastrophe has actually increased the trust and tacit understanding between the two a lot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If they hadn't believed in each other and defended each other, then no matter in front of the Queen Mother or this poisoning, they wouldn't have a good result.

There are some things that the two of them tacitly know, but they also remember what Sister Su Xin said to them in Sister Su Xin's house before.

No matter what happens, only when they trust each other can they overcome all difficulties, and now, this sentence has been best confirmed in their bodies.

The night was darker, Lu Yingquan was injured, and Yun Yao was still weak, even if he was reluctant, the two did not talk for a long time. After saying goodbye to Lu Yingquan, Yun Yao walked out of the room.

"Achen. Yun Yao whispered the name of the secret guard.

She couldn't see exactly where he was hiding, but she knew that he was near her, and he would show up whenever she needed to.

This is what Gu Chen told her this afternoon, knowing that she woke up, after returning to the room, Gu Chen appeared to apologize to her as soon as possible, and said that he would obey Gu Qingming's arrangement and swear to protect her safety.

And Yun Yao was also brought over by Gu Chen just now, and she didn't alarm anyone, and even the people in Hehuan Hall didn't know that she had gone out, they just thought that she was sleeping in the house, but they didn't think that she had already changed her clothes and let Gu Chen take her to Changming Palace.

Gu Chen appeared, didn't say anything, and directly took Yun Yao to perform light skills and walked towards the Hehuan Palace. The black figure swept by, like the wind, and before the night guards could see anything, they were gone.

The night passed, and early the next morning, news came from the imperial dining room, saying that the dogs that guarded the warehouse before the imperial dining room all died overnight yesterday, and died next to the bucket of water in the imperial dining room, and the mouths of these dogs were still stained with leftovers, and they looked like they had eaten the swill in the bucket.

Luo Song, as the head of the inner house, had such a thing, so he naturally wanted to take a look, and after investigation, he found that someone had poisoned the bucket.

In fact, if you think about it, it is not considered to be poisoned in the water bucket, after all, the water is to be carried outside the palace to be dumped, no one will poison it, the only possibility is that someone accidentally spills the poison inside, or in order to destroy the corpse, with the help of the water bucket to hide the poison.

Luo Song called the imperial doctor to check it, and finally found that the poison in the dog was actually Qiritang, which was exactly the same as the poison on Yun Yao's body.

Now, things are going to be a big deal.

Luo Song hurriedly told Shen Ze about this matter, and under Shen Ze's instructions, he went to the Hehuan Hall and told Rong Ya and Yun Yao about it.

Yun Yao only got the news from Lu Yingquan last night, saying that there were two suspicious people, Furong and Xiaoxi, and she heard the news today. Furong is the lady of the lantern palace of Changming Palace, and there is no reason to go to the imperial dining room at all, and she has never touched Yun Yao's medicine pot, so it can be completely ruled out.

So...... The rest is Xiao Xi.

Even if Shen Ze wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly, but when the time came early, he could only hand over this matter to Rong Ya to deal with and let Rong Ya lead someone to investigate.

Rong Ya is the master of the harem, and it is also within her authority to deal with these things, plus she is worried about Yun Yao, so after hearing the news, she immediately sent someone to Changming Palace to bring Xiaoxi to the Hehuan Hall for careful interrogation.

The people who went were Xiao Haizi and Xiao Jinzi, and it was more than enough for the two eunuchs to bring a palace maid over, but they didn't expect that when the two arrived at Xiao Xi's room, they found that Xiao Xi had already been hanged on the beam.

The three-foot white silk hung down in the air, wrapping around Xiaoxi's neck, and there was an envelope on the table, on which were written the words "confession".

When the two saw the corpse, they were shocked, and Xiao Haizi asked Xiao Jinzi to guard the house, and ran to tell the queen himself.

Xiao Haizi held the letter of repentance in his hand, ran all the way to the Hehuan Palace, and delivered the envelope to Rong Ya as quickly as possible, and handed it to Rong Ya to see.

Rong Ya took the letter of repentance, hurriedly swept it, was shocked, and hurriedly ran to Yun Yao's room to find her.

Everyone only felt puzzled, obviously Yun Yao was still in a coma, and they didn't know what the queen was going to do in Yun Yao's room? In fact, everyone in the Hehuan Hall didn't know either, Yun Yao had actually woken up a long time ago, just to hide people's eyes and ears and not go out. Only a handful of people know that she has woken up.

"Sister Yun Yao, look at it—" Rong Ya entered Yun Yao's room and handed the letter to Yun Yao for her to read.

Yun Yao had never seen Rong Ya in such a hurry, she immediately greeted it, took the letter from Rong Ya's hand, and saw ten lines at a glance, but saw that it was written: Xiao Xi knew that he was guilty of a deep sin, and he was willing to harm Lord Lu, and he felt ashamed in his heart, and it was difficult to face everyone, so he had to apologize with death.

"We just found out some clues, and Xiao Xi committed suicide and died?" Yun Yao looked at the letter and always felt that something was wrong.

She took the letter and read it several times, the doubts in her heart became deeper and deeper, her brows frowned, and she felt that this matter was not simple.

"Sister Yun Yao, have you found anything?" asked Rong Ya.

"Niangniang, please go to Changming Palace now, Xiaoxi's room, you must protect the scene and not let anyone in. Yun Yao said, "The slave maid has to go to Jianzhang Palace to meet the Queen Mother." ”

"But going to see the Queen Mother now, isn't it equivalent to telling the Queen Mother that you are deceiving your superiors and subordinates?" Rong Ya said, "You are obviously awake, but when you were the queen mother before, you ......"

"There is no way, if you want to continue to investigate this matter, you can only make it clear to the Queen Mother. Yun Yao said, "I suspect that Xiaoxi did not commit suicide, but was murdered, and killed before we found out the truth." This matter is not simple, the palace is full of the eyes and ears of the Queen Mother, even if she doesn't admit it today, she will definitely know that I deceived her in the future. ”

"Then I'll listen to you, I'll go to Changming Palace to guard and don't let anyone destroy the scene. Rong Ya said, turned around and left, took Mama Qi and Zhuzhi and them, and the group went to Changming Palace.

And Yun Yao tidied up her appearance, took Xiaoxi's so-called confession, and went to Jianzhang Palace.

The morning sun is not too scorching, so Yun Yao walked very fast, although her body was still very weak, but when human life was at stake, she could only speed up.

At this time, the Queen Mother had just had breakfast, and someone from the palace happened to report that someone had died in Changming Palace, and she didn't have time to ask in detail, so she heard Zhao Gonggong come to report, saying that Yun Yao asked to see her.

"Yun Yao, isn't she poisoned and unconscious?" The Queen Mother was startled, then understood, and sneered, "I see, this one by one, the courage is really getting bigger and bigger, first Lu Yingquan, and then Yun Yao, actually deceived the mourners one by one!"

"Queen Mother, Yun Yao must have something very important to ask to see at this time, otherwise she would not have hurried over on the charge of deceiving you. Jinxiu said, "Even if you want to punish her, ask what is the matter first, and then it's not too late to punish." ”

"That's it, let her in. After listening to Jinxiu's words, the Queen Mother finally commanded Zhao's father-in-law.

Soon, Yun Yao was brought in, knelt directly in front of the Queen Mother, and pleaded guilty first: "Slave Yun Yao, come and ask the Queen Mother for her guilt." ”

"Now that you know the sin, you know what kind of sin it is to deceive the mourning family, how do you think the mourning family should forgive you?" The queen mother was obviously angry, and her words were much harsher than usual.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the slave didn't dare to ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness, but the slave and the maid had something to say, and after listening to this matter, if the Queen Mother still insisted on punishing the slave and maid, the slave and the maid had nothing to say. Yun Yao gritted her teeth, spoke, and decided to take a gamble.

It's been such a long time, Yun Yao still has a certain understanding of the Queen Mother, and she can also figure out a little about the Queen Mother's thoughts, she thinks that if she explains the reason, the Queen Mother may let her make up for it.

"You look confident. The Queen Mother looked at Yun Yao coldly and said, "What the hell is it that makes you make such a big mistake!"

"The Empress Dowager Qi, here's how it happened......" Yun Yao opened her mouth and told her about being secretly poisoned, and then said, "The slave and maid were blessed by misfortune, not only was they not poisoned, but they were awake after relieving the poison on their bodies, but they did not explain it publicly, but chose to conceal it, all for the Empress Dowager." ”

"For the sake of mourning the family? This is the first time that the mourning family has heard such a high-sounding reason, deceiving the mourning family is for the sake of mourning the family?" the queen mother sneered, "You should tell me, what good is it for you to conceal the fact that you have woken up?"

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, after the slave woke up, she found that this matter was very wrong. Yun Yao cleared her thoughts and said, "The slave maid was poisoned in Changming Palace, but the poisoned object was suspected by the queen mother Cheng Yingquan. You must know that the slaves and maids and Yingquan are both doing things for the Queen Mother, and the slaves and maids have accidents one after another, and it is difficult to guarantee that someone is not acting secretly against the Queen Mother. ”

The Queen Mother listened to Yun Yao's words, the anger in her heart decreased slightly, and the serious dark color on her face deepened.

She had only just realized this point, but she didn't expect it to be mentioned by Yun Yao now. However, listening to the meaning of Yun Yao's words, the person who did all this didn't seem to be Shen Ze.

The slave maid originally thought that concealing the fact of waking up could lower the vigilance of the people behind the scenes and let them show their feet, but they didn't expect that Yingquan had just found out a little clue and knew who the poisoner was, and before she could ask who was instigated, this person was already dead. Yun Yao continued to speak, and presented the letter of repentance with both hands, "This is the letter of repentance left by the palace maid Xiaoxi before she committed suicide, she claimed to have poisoned the slave maid, and committed suicide in fear of sin, please ask the queen mother to take a look." ”

"Take it to the mourners. The Queen Mother commanded.

Yun Yao got up from the ground and handed over the letter of repentance. Jinxiu took the letter of repentance and presented it to the Queen Mother.

After the Queen Mother finished reading it, Yun Yao said: "But the Queen Mother, this so-called letter of repentance was not written by Xiaoxi, but was forged by someone to cover up the murder." Xiaoxi did not commit suicide in fear of crime, but was killed by someone. ”
